FAQ

Some frequently asked questions for the BIFM project

Can you add <site>?

Yes, as long as the site falls within one or more of these categories:

• Adlinks (like adf.ly, exe.io, linkvertise)
• Link protectors (like Daddy's Link Protector, wpsafelink, thinfi)
• Link collection pages (like carrd, linktr.ee, msha.ke)
• General URL shorteners (like bit.ly, tinyurl.com, goo.gl (formerly), and t.co)

When in doubt, check to see if a similar site is already supported.

Also be sure to see if the URL isn't already supported by checking one of the instances and running the URL.

Be sure your issue/DM to a contributor also has the following:

• An example link (example: https://boost.ink/c5bba)
• A destination link (the link you are supposed to get at the end result, like https://git.gay/a/bifm).

Also be sure to include any other relevant information, like the origin of the link to further check the page.

<site> is broken, can you fix it?

Yes, but please check if the bypass is broken on as many instances as you see fit.

This can be a regional thing and not something actually wrong with BIFM.

If you have made sure, please send an issue with the following information:

• The broken link (example: https://boost.ink/c5bba)
• Where the link is supposed to lead (example: https://git.gay/a/bifm).
• Where the link leads according to BIFM (example: https://theannoyingsite.com/)
• Any errors given to you, this can help espescially if you run the instance you're on by yourself.
